Install and run when a command is not found

Work only with bash and apt-file installed. When it found an unknow command, it will search for a file named "scribus" (in my example), in a folder named bin and then install the corresponding package. After installation, it will run the command. Usefull juste after reinstalling linux and missing lot of package. Show Sample Output

Quick HTML image gallery from folder contents

Setting: You have a lot of jpg files in a directory. Maybe your public_html folder which is readable on the net because of Apache's mod_userdir. All those files from the current folder will be dropped into a file called gallery.html as image tags that can be viewed within a web browser locally or or over the Internet. Original: $find . -iname "*.jpg" -exec echo "" >> gallery.html \;

Using ASCII Art output on MPlayer

Not so useful. Just a cool feature.

Set name of windows in tmux/byobu to hostnames of servers you're connected to

*I run this with byobu as as a custom status bar entry that runs every 10 seconds by putting it in a script here: $ .byobu/bin/10_update_windows There's no output to stdout, so nothing is displayed on the status bar. *Presumes that #{pane_title} is set to the hostname or prompt containing the host name. In my case, it's in this format: $ $USER@$HOSTNAME:$PWD The sed commands may need to be modified if your pane_title is different. *If you want to strip out a common part of a hostname, add the following before '| uniq' $ -e 's/[COMMON PART]//' I use that to strip out the domain of the servers I connect to, leaving the subdomain.

Find files that were modified by a given command

This has helped me numerous times trying to find either log files or tmp files that get created after execution of a command. And really eye opening as to how active a given process really is. Play around with -anewer, -cnewer & -newerXY

Which processes are listening on a specific port (e.g. port 80)

swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"

Short URLs with is.gd

No curl and no sed, just wget :)
